Guess who was on CNBC today!

Jonathan BUSH. First cousin of W... He's the CEO of Athena Healthcare Systems.

http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/96/health-care.html

It's a medical billing company and you'll never believe why he was on CNBC. He is trying to get some of the healthcare contracts from the Obama administration. HA!

Here's a picture of him!

THE NERVE! Is it really a good idea to give a BUSH millions of Americans medical records after all the spying scandals? HELL NO!

Boy those Bushes. They were only away from the government feeding trough 2 days and they're already back!

Unbelievable!

2. He's not the only Bush with his fingers in the government pie.
Bucky Bush in St. Louis has made a fortune off the evil gubmit. Bush-O'Donnell is the company.

13. Yeah, they're known for funneling loads of $$$ to their cronies.
He was a big force behind Junior getting in the White House too, but it was strictly fly below the radar with that.

10. Athena Is Right Down the Street From Me
In Watertown MA, right off the Charles River. If anyone wants to gang-moon them, I'm in. Nice place to get lunch next door, too.

14. I saw him on CNBC last week
He was actually kind of funny, kind of joking about not being able to find people who looked up to his cousin. Plus, at least he voted for Obama.

Natch, I have lots of questions about the medical records thing.

But remember that Obama is attached to his Blackberry-- I think he wants all sectors to benefit from the information age.

But there have to be a ton of safeguards. Yes, a ton of them.
